An office coffee machine could be the ideal
purchase for businesses after experts said many are neglecting the
wellbeing of their staff.
According to Sun Life Financial, lots of companies do currently
have various "wellness initiatives" in place.
However, the firm said others are falling short and have no
"strategic plan" to boost the welfare of their workforce.
Sun Life Financial accepted that employers do understand how
important these issues are, but said factors such as limited
financial resources are stopping them from taking positive
action.
The group also noted that the fact the results
of wellbeing programmes cannot be quantified is also seen as an
obstacle for employers.
Nevertheless, small steps such as investing in an office coffee machine could be one good way to
improve workplace morale and create a happier and more productive
environment.
This comes after research by Officebroker.com
found that more than half of all workers would be happy to do away
with some of their company's green policies instead of lose their
hot drinks provider.
